In the afternoon, the official version of Where Is The Love Recording Studio was recorded, CNA Insurance Company has sent a professional security team to wait, and all the master tapes of A+ Records that have not been released by Sony Columbia Records have been heavily insured and entrusted to the Chicago consortium related companies, and after the release of Song Ya's first album, the track management rights of the songs in the album will be transferred to Sony Music Copyright Company (no affiliation with Sony Columbia Records).

"If there is no problem, please sign it."

In the safe room of the CNA company's vault, a person in charge handed Song Ya the documents.

The metal storage drawer was rested on the workbench, and after Delai and others cooperated with the company's professionals to check the integrity of the master tape one by one, they nodded to Song Ya to indicate that there was no problem.

"Please send it to Sony Columbia Records within the allotted time." Song Ya instructed as he signed.

"Mr. APLUS, please don't worry."

Professional security personnel came in with a heavy safe, in addition to the password, the box must have three keys at the same time to open, and Song Ya was also assigned one.

After doing this, he led his singers, important employees, lawyers, accountants and others to the airport and flew directly to New York.

"The riots seem to be subsiding." Samur, the managing partner of Coopers Midwest, was also accompanied by the same plane.

"Hmm." Song Ya replied casually.

"You don't care?" Samuel asked.

Song Ya replied: "I only care about my first major now, and I don't want to fail." ”

"You're focused, APLUS, and that's a very good quality." Samur looked at the white clouds outside the window: "Are you worried about Motura? ”

"He always worries me, his way of doing things, his power, his personality ......"

Suppressed once, forced himself to modify the release method of Empire State Of Mind once, Motula's raid is always without warning but can accurately grasp the timing, due to the timeliness of the current Where Is The Love heat, Song Ya is afraid of being attacked by the other party again.

"He shouldn't have any motive to spoil you this time." "Your interests are aligned at the moment, and ...... Ahem, miss. He stopped the first-class flight attendant who kept walking around Song Ya's seat, "Please give us some personal space, okay?" ”

"I'm sorry, sir." This beautiful blonde white chick had to walk away in embarrassment.

"And Motula's power has taken a major blow last month." Samur whispered.

"Oh?" Song Ya, who has a ghost in her heart, is very happy to hear this kind of news, "What do you say? Nothing big happened in the record industry last month, right? ”

"Last month, John Gottie, the 'Chinese Godfather' of the Gambino family in New York and the last mafia godfather who likes to solve problems with violence, was found guilty, and the Italian underground in New York is about to recede."

"Motura is still related to the mafia?" Song Ya knew that Motura was of Italian descent, but she never expected that he would have a mafia connection.

"There are rumors, you know, how dare most people verify it for themselves?"

"You don't have to be too scared of Motula, as long as your first album can get tens of millions of sales," Samuel said. Think about what MJ did to him...... And twenty years ago, Motura chose to convert to Judaism in order to marry the daughter of the president of ABC Records, and with a series of unethical behaviors after his divorce, the marriage seemed to be just a tool for him to drill upward, and the Jewish upper class only had a worse and worse opinion of him. ”

"This guy ......"

Hearing this kind of secret news, Song Ya smiled, she didn't expect Motura to have the kind of past of being a 'door-to-door son-in-law'. "Even if I can reach the status of MJ, I won't treat Motura like that, it doesn't make sense at all." Hiding from the company's president and manager to release a MV without the permission of the other party? Song Ya can't do that kind of unhelpful thing.

"You're cautious." Samur nodded approvingly: "In addition to the two points I said, Motura has a third backing......"

"This sub-capitalist." Song Ya experienced the book's trust in Motura, which was the most important foundation of his power in the record industry.

"Our cooperation would be perfect APLUS." Samuel ended the conversation.

‘APLUS！ Did you really write Where Is The Love in 10 minutes? ’

'APLUS, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE EVENTS IN LOS ANGELES!' ’

"Rumors say that your album will be released in the near future, can you confirm this?"

Song Ya smiled and waved at the reporters who came to block him, and left quickly.

When he arrived at the large conference room at Sony's Columbia Records headquarters, Motura was already waiting with a large team, and they and Song Ya's staff began to deliberate on the content and publicity strategy of the first album in great detail.

"Beautiful Girls is a song with a lot of potential, have you ever thought about saving it for the next album just in case? You know, many singers have a blockbuster in their first specialty, and then their second album is mediocre, with this song guarantee, your second album can at least maintain a certain amount of sales. ”

Motura turned out to be very optimistic about this saliva song, and the first disagreement between the two sides was about this song.

"Forget it, I've managed to get ten songs, Mr. Motura." Song Ya declined.

"Didn't you have two more mediocre songs?"

Motura happily flipped through the two ballo-related files in case of an emergency, "Even if you use them to replace Beautiful Girls, your debut album is already very strong, Where Is The Love...... Wow wow wow, when I heard this song yesterday, I felt like I heard MJ's We Are The World! Next year's Single of the Year award might be yours again, and We Are The World has won it! ”

Song Ya observed coldly, Motula's excitement should not be disguised, and his suggestion that Beautiful Girls be placed in the second major seemed to be completely well-intentioned, "I'm a newcomer, I can't think that far, I just want to make things as simple as possible." ”

He thought about it and refused, a good song was there, and who knows when Motura would seize the opportunity to repeat the scene of Empire State Of Mind.

"Hahaha! YOU'RE ALWAYS SO STUBBORN APLUS...... Let's go! Just do it according to your opinion, who made you a big star! ”

Motura laughed, and everyone in the office laughed in unison.

He got up and opened a bottle of champagne, poured the wine, and handed Song Ya a glass, "And the song Want to Want Me, I also like it very much, the kind of emotion that is like a cat's claw scratching my heart and rushing to meet my lover for fun, haha, too accurate, too in place!" Don't worry, your first album will be a big hit, and Sony Columbia Records has plenty of resources. He raised his glass to Song Ya.

"Uh......" Song Ya clinked glasses with him, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Motura." ”

"But the other two alternate versions of Beautiful Girls don't seem to need to be put in, and they will steal the focus of the listeners from each other, which is very detrimental to the song's chart." A Sony Columbia record executive said.

Song Ya thought about it, and it was indeed a little thoughtless, "Let me discuss it with my subordinates, ten minutes." ”

He called Hayden, Yeremov and others outside, and after a brief discussion, came back and agreed to the opinion.

"What is the budget for publicity?" The executive of the publicity department asked.

"Eight million." Motura had already thought about it, "MJ's Dangerous first publicity cost is only more than 20 million, what do you say?" APLUS。 ”

Then there is the publicity and distribution cost of the first album, Song Ya so many singles basically didn't use too much resources of Sony Columbia Records, and even the MV didn't cost too much money, but more than a dozen songs on an album were sold expensively, and they couldn't use that ordinary way of publicity and distribution, he was not a contracted singer of Sony Columbia Records, and A+ Records was not a subsidiary of the other party, and if the publicity and distribution costs exceeded the previous contract, they would need to be shared by both parties.

Song Ya looked at Hayden, Yeremov, Samur and the others, and nodded in agreement after receiving an affirmative answer, "Yes." ”

"Hey! I just like you like this simply APLUS! Where Is The Love，Where Is The Love……”

Motura hummed and danced, showing how much joy the song Where Is The Love brought him, and the whole conference room was filled with joy and happiness, "I know you kid never let people worry about money!" How about having all the big names on our record label re-enact with you in a while? ”

"Well, I still need to make a careful assessment of this matter, okay for now?" Song Ya refused again, only the chorus part of this song is sung, and once the chorus is sung, he will inevitably let it out, because there are not many RAP singers under Sony Columbia Records, and he doesn't want to give up the wonderful chorus part at all, otherwise if others sing better than him, it will be bad for the audience to have a contrast mentality.

"Okay, okay, do as you want." Motura is very talkative right now.

After intense discussions and calculations, the remixed version of the dance music of I Feel It Coming was also removed, and Song Ya's first album will have a total of fifteen songs, including ten singles, a studio version, and four mixed versions, and the first release of CDs and vinyl records, the same price is 14.99 dollars, and a much more expensive MD version will be released later, according to the sales of MD discs, Sony Electronics will also provide a part of the subsidy, and the cheapest and easiest to copy cassette version will be delayed for a long time before being released.

The arrangement of the CD tracks will be:
